We have tabled this issue until August 24th. Thanks for you patience.

Hi guys,

Still enjoying Promote's many excellent features -- also wondering, too, if there's any new timetable on when events imported from and iCal file can be expected to default to the account's specified time zone and not to Samoa's...thanks!

thank you for this feedback. I reproduced the issue both with the <form> and <iframe> tags. There appears to be a loading/caching delay. I will try to get more details...(Case 17957)</iframe></form>

Further clarification -- code functions fine in compose mode -- once saved, only sporadic retention of correct code, more frequently truncation of code.

A much smaller widget I've also used: <iframe src="http://tckmiller.webasyst.net/WG/show.php?q=VEcxMTMz-a0112c69" height="140" width="225"></iframe>

Thanks again for all your help!

Problem returned -- html box truncates code, corrupting the function. Worked sporadically before.

Thanks for all your help. Here's an example of a Paypal button I embedded (I'll note here that I tried on three different browsers and found an interesting development: it's not that it doesn't work but that it's intermittent. I sat and just pushed refresh over and over for the two events I embedded the button and watched as sometimes the button appeared and other times it just displayed a chunk of code. Functional but *very* sticky). There's another widget I've tried before that used to flunk, but now seems to be working better. All in all, a learning curve, for sure:

<form>
<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" />
<input name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif" type="image" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" />

You should be able to include most html tags. What is the exact code that you are using? Im expecting an embed, or object, or iframe reference (which we allow), but let me know and I'll take a look.

Thanks.

Toby,

Thanks for you patience. We hope to have this issue patched at the end of this week.

When will this be corrected? Still defaults to Samoa...

This appears to be a bug. We will look to correct this ASAP.

So, there are two places where you can create/display a subscription widget:
1. From within the event page itself. Edit the event page and click Content >> Edit Remove Widgets >> Subscribe to contact list
2. Or, you can get an embeddable widget. Click on the calendar title, and click Put a Subscription Form on your website. Here you can copy and paste code.

Note: Neither of these options allow you to tag the user. This is a future feature enhancement.

Same here -- when you add html to the description in the box provided on the Edit Event page, it shows up correctly when you're composing -- when you save it, though, only a part of the code is retained and just shows up in the description as useless text. My guess is Navigator was trying to add a mailing list widget -- I tried the same thing myself since the subscribe function does not take tags (I wrote a separate entry about this here) or show in your contacts list which event it comes from if you have more than one event -- you don't know which event people want updates on before confirming attendance -- the comments function is a little awkward since they have to leave a comment when all they want is to join the list and their info is displayed publicly, which they may not want.

1. If a user enters information via the subscription box, that user will NOT be tagged.
2. If a user enters information via add to calendar, reminder, invite friend box, that user will be auto-tagged with the event tag.

We are considering putting this feature in a future release, so stay tuned!
